Within distracting environments, it is difficult to maintain attentional focus on complex tasks. Cognitive aids can support attention by adding relevant information the environment, such as via augmented reality (AR). However, there may be a benefit in removing elements from irrelevant alarms, displays, and conversations. De-emphasis of type AR called Diminished Reality (DR). Although de-emphas...

Flight Data Recorders produce data that is stored on an embedded memory device. A widespread problem with these devices is that the embedded memory device runs out of space. The concern of getting to this problematic situation causes the software of the flight data recorder to work in a careful manner it constantly makes efforts to minimize the used memory space; otherwise a larger flight data ...

in this paper, we investigate the total variation diminishing property for a class of 2-stage explicit rung-kutta methods of order two (rk2) when applied to the numerical solution of special nonlinear initial value problems (ivps) for (odes). schemes preserving the essential physical property of diminishing total variation are of great importance in practice. such schemes are free of spurious o...

A decision maker with time consistent preferences may exhibit diminishing impatience, when uncertain lifetime is accounted for. Uncertain lifetime captures not only the risk of mortality, but also the possibility that a promise for a delayed reward might be breached, or a postponed consumption might not be realized. The restrictions that time consistency imposes on additive intertemporal prefer...

A new type of cubic trigonometric Bézier curve has been introduced in [1]. This trigonometric curve has two global shape parameters λ and μ. We give a lower boundary to the shape parameters where the curve has lost the variation diminishing property. In this paper the relationship of the two shape parameters and their geometric effect on the curve is discussed. These shape parameters are indepe...
